The Treasure in Your House

Tuesday 26 April
READ: Matt. 13:44-46
MORE LESSON: Psa. 1:2-3

There is the story of a man that owned a small farm on an acre of land well watered by streams. He lived on the farm and made profit which sustained him. Those days, the exploration of land for diamond just started becoming popular and many people were becoming instantaneously rich as they discovered diamond in their land. This man also wanted to make it and so he sold his little farm and took the little money he made from the sale to embark on a journey in search for diamond. He travelled to distant lands and shores in search of diamond to make him wealthy. After many years of a worn out life, travelling and looking for diamond throughout the world, he decided to return home. He had become old and since he hadn't been lucky enough to find diamond and become rich, he decided to return to his hometown so that, at least, when he died he could be buried there. When he returned home the first thing he noticed was that the whole village had become an industrial town and many things had changed. There were roads, schools, hospitals, storey buildings and other infrastructural amenities. He inquired and found out that a large deposit of diamond was discovered in the town after he left. A large industry had to be set up that was responsible for the great economic and infrastructural development. Of course, you can guess where the deposit of diamond was discovered. It was in the acre of land he sold to travel in search of diamond! Many people are searching around for treasure and solutions in life while the greatest treasure in the universe lies unused in their house.
The greatest treasure in life is the Word of God. A man has the Bible in his house and is not reading it to discover principles of life but goes around begging for help, prayer and other things. He is uninformed that if he could only extract the treasure in his Bible, all the things he goes around begging for will be produced and distributed by him. Psa. 1: 2-3 declares that a man who digs and discovers the treasure in the Word of God will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. Productivity, provision and prosperity are in the Word of God. Your Bible is a treasure. If you read, love and obey it, all the things that people traverse land and sea to look for will naturally flow out of you. Friend, all you are looking for are in the Word of God. Explore God’s Word and become blessed and a blessing to others

PROPHETIC PRAYER
I command every yoke of slavery to be broken off me today, in the name of Jesus.
